Musk calls for Epstein files release in renewed Trump feud

Donald Trump says he doesn't think Elon Musk 'should be playing that game with me' as feud resurfaces

Elon Musk has renewed his calls for the release of the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files, responding with "Yes" to a MAGA activist's demand on X.
This renewed demand follows Musk's previous accusation, made weeks prior, that Donald Trump was mentioned in the sealed Epstein documents.
The tech billionaire's latest call came shortly after Donald Trump threatened Musk with government scrutiny and suggested he might have to "go back to South Africa."
Musk's initial claims about Trump's connection to the Epstein files stemmed from an earlier fallout over Donald Trump's "pork-filled" tax bill, which Musk criticised as pushing the US into "debt slavery."
Despite his earlier accusations, Musk later expressed regret for some of his posts about Donald Trump, stating they "went too far."
